She: “So what’s all this funny text?”
Me: “It’s called Lorem Ipsum.”
She: “Huh. It cracks me up everytime I see it.”
Me: “It’s not supposed to. It’s from Cicero’s treatise on the theory of ethics.”
She: “Oh, I thought it was Latin.”
Me: “…It is. It’s meant to be placeholder text.”
She: “You guys make up the funniest stuff.”
Me: “…I didn’t make it up. It’s been used for centuries for this purpose. Believe me, if I made it up, we’d be using limericks.”
She: “Yeah, right.”
